Depeche Mode‘s ‘M’ Concert Film is Coming to Netflix
Depeche Mode’s epic live film M* is set to arrive on Netflix later this week.
Details of the concert film were shared last April when the band confirmed thay had compiled footage from their ‘Memento Mori’ shows in mexico City, where Dave Gahan and co. played to nearly 200,000 fans over three sold-out nights.
It was conceptualised and directed by award-winning filmmaker Fernando Frias, and aimed to take the audience on a “profound musical journey” while exploring how the band’s album of the same name carried a “deep connection to death and mortality in Mexican culture”.
‘Memento Mori’, their 15th studio release, marked the first since the tragic passing of synth player and founding member Andy fletcher, who died in May 2022. The subsequent tour spanned 2023 and 2024, with the surviving members playing to over 3 million fans globally across 112 shows.
*M premiered at the 2025 Tribeca film Festival and was then screened at over 2,500 cinemas across more than 60 countries last October. It received a physical release later that month, alongside a live album called ‘Memento Mori: Mexico City’.
Now, the film is heading to streaming, and will be available on Netflix from Friday (January 9) for viewers in the US, UK and Europe.
According to a new description on Netflix, *M* is a documentary that “explores Mexico’s relationship with music, mortality and tradition, framed by synth-pop band Depeche Mode.”
